In a separate interview with France’s Europe 1 Radio service, Pushkov said that the Russian aerial campaign in Syria would take three to four months.
“The US-led coalition spent a whole year pretending they were striking ISIL targets but where are the results of these strikes?” Pushkov asked.
The Americans have been “pretending” all along, he continued. “It’s the intensity that is important. The US coalition pretended to bomb Daech for a year, but there are no results. If you do it in a much more efficient way, the results will be seen.” He added that in his view, 80 percent of all the US strikes have been pointless.
Turning to Russian intervention in Syria, he ruled out ground forces becoming involved in the war, and said that Russia was intervening to “maintain Syria as an independent state” but also to provide protection for Russia.
“The Islamic state is an expansionist organization. They indicated that they had very important goals in Central Asia, our military allies,” he said, referring to the possibility of militant Islam spreading throughout the former Soviet states to the south of Russia, and even into the Russian state.

It’s not pointless- Buckwheat can say he’s trying HARD!!!
Duh. Obama is on ISIS’ side. Of course he has our military bombing empty desert.

Meanwhile, genocide was happening to hundreds of thousands of Christians in the region.
Obama and Samantha Power should be locked in prison for the rest of their lives.
Pointless? No, not if deceiving the American public into thinking we’re actually fighting these Muslims is the real goal.
There’s a claim about McCarthy, IIRC, from WW2 that involved his shooting up trees at the airfield that comes to mind.
In Vietnam, they did a lot of GBT bombing. 😀
fl
The MB is in the WH
I love it, Russia busts Obola’s little game open.........Not that the MSM will pick it up.
The man has a point. The US sat back and watched ISIS conquer half of Iraq while driving around in pickup trucks. Drones in Pakistan but no drones in Iraq ? And for the past year the NeoConvicts have been pounding the Russian war drums. ISIS may have been a planned threat to Russia and obviously Syria.
Freepers and others suspected this for years. The same country that took down the imperial Japanese army and the Nazis is now powerless against 5000 guys with machine guns mounted on toyota hiluxes. The only explanation is that we are fully compromised.
Lots of “suspected truck parks” got plastered, no secondaries. ...
Yes, those too.
and who is bombing hospitals http://www.timesofisrael.com/russia-syria-deliberately-bombing-hospitals-amnesty/ ?
ISIS hides in ambulances and hospitals. If the US wanted to wipe out ISIS why did it wait till the Russians got involved in Syria?
What I find mildly interesting is all the bomb footage of the Russian efforts on Live Leak/Youtube and almost none of any US efforts. The Russian bomb footage is often videoed from the ground, while any US efforts are from some aerial perspective on some building which could be anywhere or any when.
We see the significant damage Russia has done to ISIS controlled areas and cities, but nothing other than the occasional still of some putative US effort.
Gotta love those Russian cluster bombs ... and bunker busters for under mosque ammo dumps.
these mooselimb bastards are obammy’s people.
WE can’t actually try to do em in.
or at least not be filmed in the process ...
OTOH, the targeting of conservatives by Obama and the
vicious stinking lying GOP using the IRS was
very precise.
